Biology

Amanda [17]3 years ago

A runaway greenhouse effect is a process in which a net positive feedback between surface temperature and atmospheric opacity increases the strength of the greenhouse effect on a planet until its oceans boil away. An example of this is believed to have happened in the early history of Venus.

Strontium-90 has a half life of 29 years, how much strontium-90 is left from the Chicago pile reactor that was active around 87
agasfer [191]

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

The half life of a substance is the time required by that substance to reduce to half of its initial value. The half life is calculated using the formula:

N(t)=N_o(\frac{1}{2} )^\frac{t}{t_\frac{1}{2} } \\\\where\ N(t)=quantity\ of\ substance \ remaining, N_o=initial\ quantity\\of\ substance, t=time\ and \ t_\frac{1}{2}=half\ life\ of\ substance

Given that t = 87 years, half life = 29 years, therefore the quantity of strontium-90 left is:

N(t)=N_o(\frac{1}{2} )^\frac{87}{29} \\\\N(t)=N_o(\frac{1}{2} )^\frac{t}{t_\frac{1}{2} } \\\\N(t)=N_o(\frac{1}{2} )^3\\\\N(t)=\frac{1}{8} N_o

That is one-eight of Strontium 90 would be left after 87 years

How do lipids make ATP?
slamgirl [31]
Same way glucose does. Lipids enter cells through channels similar to glucose ones, but designated for lipids instead of carbohydrates. Then lipase splits them into separate parts (fatty acids & glycerol I think). The glycerol can either be used to make pyruvic acid and the energy of breaking its bonds can be used to make ATP, or it can go to making glucose, which is stored for later use.

From the point of view of energy use why is recycling better?
scoray [572]
When recycling we are reusing old stuff we get rid of and making it better like for example when you recycle plastic that plastic can turn into a toy for a kid or recycling an old rusty metal that can turn into a bed or a new table. Recycling is really good for the environment because you are changing something old into something new. 

Hope this helped :)
